We met two professional basketball players this week! We contacted both of them at different times and had some great conversations with them. I was sooo happy to talk to someone about basketball!!!! They are both playing over here in Europe and getting paid for it. One is hoping he will get drafted into the NBA soon and the other is content playing basketball in Europe. Well, it just so happens that their last game is Wednesday night and we got permission to go! I am so excited. We are going with the YSA of our ward and a lot of investigators and less actives. It will be so much fun. We are hoping that after the game we will be able to give the two professionals Books of Mormon. So we will see what happens:)
Osei got the priesthood yesterday and was able to bless the sacrament!! It was so awesome, he was beaming from every pore and did such a good job. Goodness I love watching people take on the gospel and change a little each day. It is the best!
We have an awesome new investigator!! Her name is Lisa and she is the best!! She is 19 years old and was introduced into the church by this mormon family who posts videos everyday of their life. Their names are the Shaytards? Something like that, well she follows their blog and became interested in the church through this blog. She just showed up to church 2 weeks ago and has been coming to YSA activities. On wednesday night at Institute someone wanted to give her a Book of Mormon, but she already had one! She had ordered one online 6 months earlier! How crazy is that?? She is just the cutest-she acts mormon already! I was talking to her and I asked her if she knew what General Conference was and she told me that she had already watched some of it!! She then goes on to tell me that she downloaded the Mormon Channel onto her phone and listens to the Mormon Radio sometimes. Goodness, she is just the best. Not to mention that we have soo much in common! She loves one direction:) hahaha But it is crazy because She has brown eyes, brown hair, and it is like she is my sister. I feel so blessed to have met her and to get to teach her.
Mom and Dad, it is so crazy because there are a few other girls in the ward that I look like. Their names are Siri and Kristin. Members will come up to us and just be baffled because they think we look like we are related or sisters. At least once a Sunday people will come up to us and say that. haha O and The Lex family here in Graz reminds me of the Felts. They would fit right into the Felt Family, so when I am with them it is always fun because I feel like I am with my real family. Basically the whole graz gemeinde is wonderful, and they are treating Sister Smith and I so well!
This next week is already full with lots of appointments, an austausch, and a finding day! It will be really good. I love being a missionary here in Graz:)
I love you guys!! Have a great week!
Sister Allman:)
